naval bases for defense, proven in the following years of World War II.

Why attack Pearl Harbor? The United States decided a joint embargo, along with the British
and the Dutch, cutting of 90% of Japan’s imported oil, in response to Japan’s attacking of
China. Their attack was in hopes of destroying the U.S. navy and diverting resources and
attention, so they can conquer islands like Malaysia and Philippines. They did not want war.

impact on the decision. Japan surrendered off successive firebombings and Soviet threat of
invasion following the end of their treaty with Japan, rather than the nuclear bombs - the
death rates weren’t ranked very high for the atomic bombs, and the surrender was too quickly
after Nagasaki for that to have been the cause.
